Yes - I got some photoresist flexi a long time ago, I thing the mfr.
was in France. It's fairly fragile as it doesn't have plastic both
sides as the 'proper' stuff does, although kapton sticky-tape makes a
reasonable substitute. Used it to make a break-out connector for TSOP
devices, and to make a different-shaped replacement for a commercial
flexi when I repackaged a consumer GPS receiver to use in the car.
